What is the performance like and have you tried using VMGL for 3D
acceleration? Right now I'm actually in the process of installing
FreeBSD 7.0 on my laptop just to play around with it. I might give
Qemu a try. If I recall correctly, I tried Qemu in the past and the
performance was very poor compared to something like VMWare. Perhaps
things changed.
